Mark, two days ago I bought your "NIKON D500 QUICK START GUIDE" and yesterday I used it to set up my D500. Today I went to my friends backyard in Littleton, CO and took 300 pictures of a humming bird with my 200-500 lens and they came out great! What a coincidence that you posted your excellent humming bird video the same day! Thanks for all you do - you are a great help and my pictures have never looked better.
That is totally awesome. Glad to hear it.
Ayyyy I'm from Littleton too
MLWATKK thanks for the advice. I think I’ll need to do that.
you are not only a good photographer but your love and fascination for animals and nature shows. nice story telling as well.
really enjoy each of your videos.
Thanks for the kind words. Happy to hear you are enjoying the videos.
Mark, I just want to thank you for your content, your real and your not controversial on anything. You bring your viewers on a journey. Thank you for refreshing content; Your a breath of fresh air. Much of what we end up experiance from others is rehashed photography tips. Thanks for just being a good human being. ADDED COMMENT: what is photography? When I got into photography all pros preached it's not the gear. Nowadays all the arguments, all the posturing, many photographer's present our community in not much of a flattering light. The world is full of contreversy anger and hate. You take us away to the art of photography. Art has passion, a vision a hunger to share a moment, share Images that tell a story that bring out the best in man. If your a photo journalist you may show the worst in man and why we should shun the darkness. You sir bring us light. I dont know mark, I'm not a fanboy, but being a photographer myself, when I see something worth sharing, I'm compelled to do so. Keep it up!
Wow, that is very nice of you to say. Thanks so much. I appreciate the compliments.
I added more to my comment. Your welcome mark. I Invision a great future for your chanal. Cheers...
Thanks!
I wouldn’t have been able to word this any better. So I’ll stick with... Thanks Mark. ;-)
I just love your enthusiasm. I love birds that way too.
For me, your channel is an oasis of calm, sanity and beauty in an otherwise crazy world. I've run out of superlatives to describe your work but, once again, thank you Mark.
That is awesome. Thanks
Stunning and what a perfect ending! So special when the wild comes to us and touches us.
These are the most incredible hummingbird images I’ve ever seen! Really breathtaking!
Wow it was so amazing. Loved the way the cute little bird was perched on your hand!!
Thank you for this incredible gift, Mark. You're so talented and you love these little angels so much. I do, too. And I agree, their little faces are cute!
Epic photography. Never seen humming birds so closely with such a clarity. Heart warming to see the bird having landed on to ur hand n clicking it as well. Everything speechless. God bless u Mark
All I can say is "Thanks"
You are a modernized Marty Stouffer and a little bit Bob Ross. I feel the same love of nature watching you as I used to feel watching Wild America. This is now my new favorite video.
Those are great compliments. Thanks so much!
What a great project thanks for bringing us along for the experience.
Love the shots with the translucent wings. Really shows off just how delicate these amazing little birds are, you truly have the Disney touch.
Thank you . They are so tiny and seem so fragile.
I'm very impressed. Those hummingbirds are SO AWESOME, they looks like tiny flying jewelry. Great job!!! thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks for watching. They are incredible little birds.
Mark Smith your videos are inspiring ... This particular video looked spectacular with great pictures. Thank you for sharing the pictures and these beautiful moments. Big hug from Brazil.
Thanks so much!
Well, Mark Smith's videos are a complete joy! Beautiful photos and fantastic narrative, I think I'd never seen humming birds so close, amazing, gorgeous little creatures. Thanks a lot for this videos!
As always, I love your content because it is more about nature than the gear, and that is exactly what a nature photography channel should be about :)
Thank you very much and I agree. The stories of these animals are incredible. I have to share them.
Fantastic videos, Mark. I love your enthusiasm for birding and photography. I have watched birds seriously for about 37 yrs. but truly since I was 5 or 6 (I’m 57, now). I have had the pleasure of seeing over 150 species of hummingbird and just love your videos. I am new to photography (1 1/2 yrs.) and use a D500 and D810 for still photos but always watch to learn more. Thank you so much for sharing your images.
Thank you. That is very nice to say and I am envious of your hummingbird list! That is amazing. I've seen 7 species. You have two great cameras. I had a D810 for a long time before getting my D850. Have fun out there with your gear.
A marvelous study of these amazing little birds. This film ranks up there with some of the best wild life films I've ever seen. You have a great delivery with an obvious enthusiasm which always comes through. Keep up the great work it's inspirational.
That is a great set of compliments. Thanks
Thank you so much Mark for making my day. I live in Australia and of course we don’t get hummers, but they are one of favourites. I can still remember the sheer joy the first time I shot hummers in Canada a few years ago near Lac Le Jeune. Always enjoy your videos.
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.
It looks so awesome. I never seen before such beautiful pics. Thank you very much, Mark, for watching this video. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you!
Absolutely AMAZING works Mark. No words to tell how I love this. Keep us falling down from our chair !!
Little jewels of nature 😍 so many colors.. even rainbows would be jealous of these little ones
I agree!
Your images are so beautiful and I love hearing how enthusiastic you are telling us the stories of your shoots. Thank you for making this a lovely experience.
Wow, your best video yet. Love the Hummingbirds and that it landed in your hand is amazing.
Thanks so much. Was a ton of fun.
You are inspiring. A great nature story teller. You know your gear and places to go. What a passion you have! Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely incredible. U R a blessed soul to capture these humming birds. Very people have the patience u possess. . Enjoyed like a Hollywood thriller. Well done n keep it up
Thanks so much. That is very nice of you to say. I really appreciate it.
I am in awe! That is just fantastic the work you did Mark! Excellent job as usual. Thank you for such a great job!
Thank you!
Brilliant captures! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents.
What a phenomenal experience you had. I just bought the Nikon D500 and am waiting for it to arrive. I love shooting hummers. Such beautiful birds. Ty for sharing.
I just bought the D Quick Start Guide!!! Beautiful shots and video Mark! It is amazing the hummingbirds come back to the exact same location every year. I am hoping that one day I can go on one of your photography workshops down in Florida! Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much for the support. I really appreciate it. Those little birds are amazing.
You are as amazing as the humming bird. Thank you for shearing your fascinating photos.
I loved it! Beautiful birds..
Fabulous video and pictures again Mark! I loved seeing the hummingbird on your hand again, what a magical moment.
Thanks. It was magical
An awesome approach to wildlife photography. I really admire your patience and dedication to capturing something authentic and not relying on any sort of baiting or artificial lures. Best of luck!
Thanks so much. Baiting or using a feeder take the fun out of searching and finding the birds.
Amazingly great shots, blown away.
Wow, what awesome photos, in addition, your comment are not only informative, they are documentary!!! Thanks for sharing your experience!!
Thanks for watching and for the kind words.
Tremendous shots, Mark. Thanks for taking us along! I'm envious of your hummers. It's nice when they'll take their time on a flower. Gives you plenty of time to set up.
Thank you. These little birds are so much fun. Once they get used to your presence, they seem to forget about you.
Mark , This is amazing!
I was watching it with my mouth wide open
not only the shots and video are amazing , the story adds so much
just out of this world
keep up the great work
Thanks so much!
You never fail to provide an entertaining video combined with witty commentary and beautiful images. These beautiful images from those Nikons confirms why I won't be switching to Sony anytime soon. I love my D500 and Nikkor 200-500mm
Thanks so much. You really can't go wrong with the D500 and the 200-500. It can't be beat for the price.
Beautiful imagery. The sharpness of your photographs is amazing.
Thanks!
Mark, yet again you produce the goods! Your photos are so detailed, they are inspiring, I absolutely love your work. Keep it coming!!
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it!
Quality never goes out of style.
Your videos are like story telling, I love your videos.
THANKS!
Mark, your video scripts are wonderful. In addition to being an excellent photographer, you're quite the writer.
Thank you very much.
I love your narration almost as much as the fantastic images. This videos are as good as any National Geographic videos I have seen.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work,Mark !!amazing how that hummingbird landed and kept calm in your hand !!awesome!!
THANK YOU. It was a great experience.
Absolutely beautiful stunning videography and stills Mark, you set the standard for those beautiful humming bird varieties, I don't live in an area of the uk 🇬🇧 where it's possible for to get any where near of these awesome looking birds, but I am to get my hands on the Nikon 810, or 850, can't wait. Thanks 🙏 again Mark.🤗
Mark I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Hummingbirds are always amazing and you captured some breathtaking videos and photos, also that hummingbird resting on your palm!! That was really cool. Thanks for this video, it inspires me a lot.
Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
i just cannot wait to get my d500. sure i am a little late to the party but i love a hefty camera and what that thing can do is just insane.
Simply outstanding video of my favorite photo subject. You continue to impress me with your skills and love of wildlife. Thanks for sharing your experiences Mark.
Thanks for the great compliments and for watching!
Wow! Excellent work/-/real hard work;: done with passion
Absolutely Amazing
Thanks!
unbelievable photos! Wonderful to have a hummingbird land on your hand. Glad I bought a D500. Bought it for hummingbird photography...
Thanks! It was pretty awesome. Enjoy your D500. Great camera for hummingbirds.
good to hear this! I also got the 70-300 mm AF P lens FX (as mentioned earlier). Do you have any advice or experience re that lens? I broke my 70-300 mm AF S lens. While it was insured, I couldn't get another one (AF S), so it wasn't compatible with my D300 (or so I was told) so although I could hardly afford it (not insured and not broken), I bought the D500. It has taken me quite a while to adjust to the D500. When it is in focus, it is really sharp so I'm not sure if there is back or front focussing but I took some pelican photos and they were all slightly out of focus -- the last one was in focus. I think I accidentally had touched the manual focus ring which overrides AF. It is almost in the same position where I used to hold the AF -S lens. Oops!
unfortunately I could not take hummingbird photos this summer due to terrible smoke from forest fires. The hummingbirds in your photos are very tame or at least non skittish. Is it because they are so used to humans or is it because they don't have much contact with humans? Again, I greatly enjoyed your video.
Mark, I have seen several of your videos which have all been fantastic. This hummingbird video was my favorite so far. The bird feeding right from your hand is amazing. Can't wait to view the rest of your videos. Keep up the good work!!!
That is awesome! That cute little guy resting on ur hand! Amazing!!
Wow, wow, wow! That was amazing, especially that female hummingbird landing on your hand Mark, loved it.
One of your best videos , exceptional details and amazing clarity . Your bird videos rock
Thanks
Amazing ! One of the best video ever seen. Mark you are a Master. Incredible image quality.
Excellent job Mark! I'm even more excited to go birding this weekend now!
Thank you and that's awesome.
This is one of the most breathtaking Hummer photography videos I have ever encountered on UA-cam! Simply fantastic👌🏼 Btw, your t-shirt is cool too!
Thanks
Mark, I truly enjoy your videos and have learned many valuable lessons. Your combination of video and stills is a huge help. Thank you for your valued information, humor and great teaching skills.
You are very welcome
Thank you, very much, for the beautiful images and the amazing and lovely way of describing these wonderful scenes and hummingbirds!
Thank you for watching.

Wow! Thank you! And what a joy to see the bird trust you to land on your hand.
Your narration is equal to your work...Awesome!
This video makes my heart so happy! Your shots are nothing short of perfection! I’ve tried for years to get hummingbird photos half this nice and I’m at a loss. I have a D500 but it just doesn’t like me. Thank you for sharing your expertise, it really made my day ❤❤❤
Wow!!! Absolutely amazing!
Thanks
Your amazing, my kids live in durango co, you just made me more excited for our trip in March. You inspired me to buy a D850.
I’m excited to get more familiar with it. Keep up with your God given Talent. Thank You!!!!!
This is an amazing video! Superb! I think that humming bird could tell you were a friendly good human that could be trusted, you've got a good aura! Awesome Mark.
Thanks so much!
I love the photos you made and also tips you shared with people. Thanks . A nice video for humming birds too.
Mark such a great vid, excellent storytelling of the hummingbird in nature. The vids and pictures were truly amazing!!! subscribed......
Thanks
Holy smokes, those photos are Fantastic! Great job Mark, keep up the amazing work 👍
Thanks
Beautiful photos so natural, I live in ny and I shoot ruby throated only on my deck with speed lights
Thanks. The ruby throated don’t make it this far west.
Great, video. You make us feel like we are on the trip with you. Love the hummingbirds. After seeing your wildlife images and that of a friend, I purchased a D500 and the 200-500mm lens. I have used canon with other telephoto lens but could not reach your level of results. Took images of humming birds today and was surprised to see your posting. I purchased your D500 guide. Thanks Rwp
Thanks so much for the great comment and for purchasing my book. Enjoy your camera!
These pictures are just incredible 👌
Thanks
Incredible detail as always Mark. Thanks
Thanks!
Yet more Mark Smith magic, fantastic as always Mark. Your videos are good for the soul! Cheers.
Thanks
Awesome video action Mark. You have some superb photos here. And what incredible moments with that cute little bird sitting on your hand. This is a really inspiring video. Thanks for taking us along.
You are very welcome. Thanks for the great compliments. I'm more than happy to take everyone along.
Another Marvelous Video, Mark. Thank You !!
And, thanks for writing your book on Florida Bird Photography. I found it to be a valuable guide to finding productive Bird Photography Locations during a recent visit to Florida.
Don
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching and picking up my guide!
awesome stuff man! not everyone can make a video just based on photos and get away with it. you rock!
Thanks so much!
What an Incredible Journey,,,You are Amazing !!!
Thanks!
Incredible captures Mark. The clarity of details are amazing. Thanks for sharing this. By the way, I. Bill, used most of your settings on my D850 and am getting much sharper images. I still don't have a 500mm prime lens yet but maybe since Nikon is coming out their new 500mm F5.6 prime lens for around $3,600 I may get one of those once I see enough enough reviews. Keep posting the videos. We love watching them. Bill & Deb
That is great to hear. I always like hearing that people are getting good results. The D850 can be hard to get the hang of. The 500MM 5.6 is going to be a heck of a lens. I can't wait to try one out!
Mark, love your videos, photos and adventures. Keep them coming!
Thanks!
Absolutely stunning, sharp photographs. The bird in your hand, makes me very jealous! Enjoyed the video!
Spectacular shots!! Your enthusiasm is infectious...thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching and for the comments.

WOW!!! This video was AWESOME!!! Definitely worth the wait!!! SO MANY great shots, I can't even pick a favorite -- love them ALL!!! I'm travelling to Hamburg, NY tomorrow for the long Labor Day weekend to visit a friend and he has a lovely flower garden. I'm hoping to get some hummer shots while I'm there. Wish me luck! (I'll need all I can get, LOL!) I'm sure my pictures won't be as stunning as yours, but your video has definitely given me some great tips!!!
Thanks so much! Good luck on your trip. I hope you capture lots of great shots.
Stunning photography and a great story, as usual. Wonderful! - Greg Heath
